  • Just park your car at the end of your drive, so there's no room for them to turn.

    Or invest in an Apache gunship to patrol the area.
  • Just bear in mind if you get a cheap telescopic post and someone does drive into it, you'll never get it fully down as they bend slightly. You'll end up hammering it right down and then you'll never get it back up again!

    You could always get some little gates that you can keep closed.

    I don't think the visitors are purposely using your drive, it sounds like it's a bit awkward and they have no choice.

    Start a dispute with your neighbour, then when you come to sell your house, you can declare it on the solicitors endless pointless questions list - a good way to devalue your property.

    Alternatively, keep calm and carry on!

    Private roads, with those signs to show how "privileged" the residents are, if I need to turn around I'll make a beeline for one of these roads over any other :D and then when you get to the end of the road there's always a sign at the turning area saying "no u-turns", well if they don't like U-turns, then let's see how they handle a J-turn :rotfl:

  • I'm with the original poster on this one. It irritates the hell out of me. Can you put up gates?

    I like the ones that place a couple of neatly painted rocks either side of the driveway entrance. I like a bit of a challenge when turning.

    Our neighbour had a couple of little wooden posts made out of 2 x 2 painted white.


    I say *had* as someone pinched them the other week :)
  • Plank of wood with some 4" nails will stop it.
